16 of the Best Hotels in Granada
Granada is the city of soft light, magnificient fortress, flamenco caves and long evenings scented with orange blossom. It feels slower than the rest of Andalusia, almost shy. If you’re planning a trip in Southern Spain, this iconic city has to be on your bucketlist.
There’s something very poetic about the city. Set in one of the coldest parts of Andalusia, Granada feels different from the rest of the region. As the last stronghold of Arab Spain, this history is the most visible. Granada’s best hotels don’t shout luxury. Hidden behind heavy wooden doors, many sit inside old palaces or former convents, with a style that feels closer to Morocco than the heart of Spain.
Whether you want to stay near the Alhambra or choose a quieter base in the Albaicín, Granada offers places to stay for every type of traveler. To help you plan, here’s a curated list of the best hotels in Granada.
- I thoroughly checked their reviews on TripAdvisor and Google Reviews, not just the ones I pick but also the ones I don’t.
- I take the time to check each hotel one by one, looking at what they offer, how much they costs, and who they are best for.
- I have a soft spot for hotels with an historic twist, but I know everyone likes different things. That’s why I include all kinds of hotels.
key takeaways

- My pick for a place to stay would be without any doubt be the Hotel Casa Morisca or the Palacio Gran Vía.

It sits in a quiet area close to the Rey Chico viewpoint, with short walks leading you to the city’s main sights.
Michelin-mentioned, the hotel’s style is Moorish-influenced, with a central courtyard and rooms that feel like they were taken straight from the best riads of Morocco. At times, it honestly feels like you’re in Fez. If you aren’t lucky enough to get the Mirador room, which offers panoramic views of the city and the Alhambra, the hotel also has a rooftop terrace with the same beautiful view.
From reception, shows, restaurants, and guided tours of the Alhambra and the city can be booked with ease.

Tips and FAQ
Seville vs Granada
Choosing between Seville and Granada can be tricky since both are amazing places to visit.
The city is smaller, wrapped in mountain views, and has a strong character that sets it apart from other cities in the region. The Alhambra watches over everything, and there’s a calm here that makes you want to wander without a plan. It’s not the easiest place to reach, but once you arrive, Granada feels like a city you truly experience, not just visit.
Seville, on the other hand, is larger and full of energy. Known for its lively atmosphere, it’s the cultural and historical heart of Andalusia, where grand Andalusian palaces sit next to modern neighborhoods. The city really comes alive at night, with flamenco, busy tapas bars, and streets that never seem to slow down. With great public transit and a central location, Seville also makes an ideal base for exploring nearby towns.
